'The Playbook for Stock Investing' Secures #1 New Release Status on Amazon Ahead of March Publication

New York City, New York Feb 22, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Financial educator and creator of The Equity Channel, D'ron Forbes, announces that his upcoming title, "The Playbook for Stock Investing: An Introduction to The Guided Alpha Model," has emerged as the #1 New Release in Amazon's Investment Portfolio Management category. Scheduled for official publication on March 17, the title has also secured the #2 rank for New Releases in Stock Market Investing, driven entirely by early pre-order sales.

The robust pre-order demand stems from a dedicated community of investors who have successfully applied Forbes value investing strategies since the early days of the pandemic. What began as a foundational "Value Investing 101" session on Clubhouse has evolved into a daily educational commitment. Audiences follow Forbes not just for his market insights, but for his transparent dedication to his own continuous education. Followers have watched his lifelong study of financerooted in middle school business classesexpand into formal certifications in financial markets and portfolio management, as well as an economic education certification from the Federal Reserve. This relentless pursuit of knowledge, shared daily with his students, has forged the deep trust propelling the book's early success.

In addition to topping the new release charts, early retail demand has propelled the book onto the best seller lists across multiple categories. It currently sits in the top 10 best sellers for Investment Portfolio Management, a category traditionally anchored by the long-time favorite, The Intelligent Investor. Notably, on the first day of its debut, Forbes release briefly captured that number one overall best seller spot from the Benjamin Graham classic text, symbolizing a shift from the old blueprint of value investing to a new, modern framework. Furthermore, the book has also  secured a top 40 best seller position in the highly competitive Stock Market Investing segment.

"The world is ready to understand the market on a deeper level, but they need thought leaders and subject matter experts to keep it simple," said Forbes. "With 'The Playbook for Stock Investing,' I took on the task of translating decades of financial research to show individual investors the footprints in the sand. To see the book briefly take the number one spot from The Intelligent Investor on its debut meant a lot. As a value investor, that is a feeling like studying a master architect's original blueprints your entire life, and then seeing the world embrace your modern design as a plan for the future. We are walking the everyday investor through a statistically proven path to expected positive results in the stock market."

The book addresses a growing need among individual investors for data-backed, straightforward investing strategies. By focusing on statistically proven paths rather than speculative trends, Forbes aims to provide a reliable framework for portfolio management. The text guides readers through complex financial concepts, breaking them down into manageable, actionable steps for everyday use.
